The Smell of DecayIng Human Flesh Proceeds From Some Deserted Rag. gage at Boston.
 BOSTON, April 5.-Last evening as the 6:35 o'clock express over the Cheshire road arriv- ed at the Fitchburg depot three roughly dressed men stepped off the smoking car and wandered aimlessly up the platform. They were seemingly in 8 troubled mental eondi- ton and the youngest, man of thirty years, was exceedingly nervous. They approached hack driver standing near by and asked what they could with their baggage which at that time was being removed to the storage room. They said that they had been to Marlboro, N. H., in search of work, but when they reached there were unable to find the contractor who had been mentioned to them. As they saw no prospect of obtaining work they decided to return to Boston and go thence to Rockland by steamer tonight. On that account they desired to leave their bag gage somewhere until they wanted it trans ferred- They were told that they could leave their bag gage at the depot and soon depart ed. After their departure the baggage mas ter in charge perceived strong odor which came from the larger of the two trunks. Both were tin boxes strongly locked and painted yellow and were bound by heavy cords. The name N. T. Taylor appeared on the cover, near which was a tag of the Gale donian railway and one of the Cunard steam ship company's also which bore the name of a small town in Nova Scotia. The larger weighed 176 pounds and by it's appearance contained some kind of heavy article wrap ped in blanket. So strong was the odo1 of decaying flesh that the case was reported to the police. An officer was immediately placed in charge of the baggage and has stood since over it awaiting the return of it's owners. But they did not come. If some call is not made for the property tonight 8 warrant will be served and the trunks taken from the depot and opened.
 Awful Experience of Wrecked Seanen.
 GLOUCESTER, Mass, April 5.-The schoon CT Charlotte T. Sibley from Belfast arrived here to-day with Captain William Cleveland and the crew of six men belonging to the British schooner Arana from St. John, N. B., March 24 for New York with lumber, which founde1ed in the terrible gale of Saturday night. The crew spent Saturday night dashed to the rigging; they suffered greatly. Sunday and Sunday night the wreck drifted at the mercy of wind and wave and by Mon day morning the men were nearly exhausted from hunger, thirst and exposure The
 
 feeble waving of oil jackets as signals of distress, rescued them and came out of her course to land them here. Captain Bartlett, of the Sibley, is greatly praised for his kind ness to the castaways.
 The Carpenters, strike at Cincinnati.
 CINCINNATI, April 5.-The carpenters strike does not give promise of being seri- ous affair. There is the best of feeling on the part of both employers and employees and wherever that exists strikes do not last long. Already the men have given evidence of g spirit of moderation. Their first demand was for twenty-eight cents an hour, nine hours work, on the first five days of the week, and thirty cents hour, eight hours work on Saturday. Now they offer to work nine, hours on Saturday too, and at twenty eight cents an hour. This concession made in a spirit of friendliness has already been accepted by fifty-nine employers and today about seven hundred workmen resumed work. This is good sign and there is every reason to believe that the strike will all be over in a short time.
